Looking at pictures when I took the truck apart(53 chevy 1/2 ton)I noticed that the hanger around the muffler had some sort of rubber against the muffler. I'm guessing it was to prevent rattling. It was probably high temp rubber. Where can I get some of this?

The original used a metal band that went around the muffler & attached with a tri. shaped eye bolt. It went to the frame with a steel flat metal. There was no rubber on it.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Maybe it was just put there by a previous owner. from the picture, it looks like there is rubber between the hanger and the muffler.

Section 8, pages 300, 301 and 302 show 3 different kind of muffler supports. None of them resemble the picture. However, the setup in the picture was a very common fix in those days. In those days, parts were expensive and labor was cheap. Very seldom were oem muffler clamps purchased. It could very well be some type of asbestos insulation to keep it from rattling. The dangers of asbestos did not become known to the public until later.
